South West Majorca is the most popular area to stay in with big holiday resorts such as Palma Nova and Magaluf offering both All Inclusive and Self Catering deals. They’re also all in easy reach of the capital of Palma. For a quieter resort, choose Cala Bona, a small traditional fishing village with a relaxing feel.

Alcudia is perfect if you want to mix beach side relaxing with shops, cafes and a bit of local history. Check out the Sunday market in the old town before heading down to the long and sandy beach, where the calm and clear waters are perfect for snorkelling.

Visit Magaluf during the popular summer months to see how it earned its party reputation. If you go during the off season you’ll find much more relaxing resorts but the stretch of beaches and impressive nightlife are what draws the crowds in.

The east coast of Majorca is the quieter side of the island and Cala Bona’s the ultimate resort for a relaxing holiday. There are a number of beaches here and though there aren’t as many water activities, you can take advantage of the fishing nature and eat the fresh catch of the day. You’re also only 20 minutes away from the Caves of Drach, a tourist favourite.

Many choose to spend their day in Majorca on the golden sands, heading inland at night to experience the restaurants and nightclubs, and our beach holidays to Majorca can help you live the same lifestyle. But with other draws to Majorca such as mountain biking, wine tasting and our cheap holiday deals, there’s something for everyone on this popular island.

The two don’t have to go hand-in-hand but they are the main attractions to visitors of Majorca. You’re spoilt for choice when it comes to beaches and they’re not just for laying on. There are all the water sports you’d expect as well as the chance to explore the caves and coves scattered along the shoreline. For snorkelling, start on one of the five beaches of Cala d'Or and for a family beach head to Palma Nova. Nightlife is abundant in Majorca but the major resorts hold the biggest events, perhaps you’ve heard of Magaluf?

There’s a reason professional cyclists use the mountain ranges in Majorca to train, and you can follow suit on the trails of the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range. Or if you prefer, you can swap your bike for walking shoes and hike the route instead. If you’ve got the kids but still want to be a bit adventurous, choose from one of the many water parks on the island for thrills for the whole family.

You’ll notice the variety of birdlife throughout Majorca, but head to the cliffs where the Serra de Tramuntana meets the sea to get your best view. For untouched beaches and more wildlife, the Parc Natural de Mondragó will really show off the natural sights of the island. To see some wildlife up close and personal and for a great family day out, go to the Safari Zoo wildlife and leisure park.
